The Ceremony: The Honan Chapel was completed during the middle of the First World War – a unique time in history and one of political upheaval in Ireland. At this time there was a renewed appreciation and creation of Irish Arts and Crafts – and the design and completion of the Honan Chapel reflected this contemporary approach. Built and furnished within a short period of about three years the Chapel shows a pride in Ireland’s past and hope for its future. It is recognised as a sacred place of great historical and cultural significance standing proud in a city with an impressive history of art and education. Learn more
